I know most of the class didn't finish. In fact, only 7 girls turned in "Julia approved" paragraphs by the end of the day. But I really feel that all the students did improve since they started on Monday.
Some of them didn't start working really until the last day they had in class. Two of the boys only had a paragraph to show this Wednesday - even if they were given even if they were given two class periods prior to this one to work on it. So, up to the deadline (and even after the deadline), the two of them were pestering me about it. I found it really annoying that, in the morning they turned it in, they asked for help and revision, but when they turned it in they had barely made any of the improvements. ¬¬
I was really proud of one of the girl's improvement. I think it's partially because I heard other teachers saying that she wasn't ready or that she wasn't going to be able to "do it". Such that when I saw a glimpse of her potential in class, it meant a lot to me. =) I know she still needs a lot of guidance, which is hard because we need to move on to the next unit. I hope that whatever she is doing now will carry on with her for the next time.
